The Man Behind the Scenes: John Driver


by: Aquib Ali, Carol Fernandez, Tamesh Sukul

People are unique in their own ways and can teach you a lot about life and what it takes to be a successful person. “You can say I was hand picked because there aren’t a lot of people that, I think can teach video production, that have professional experience,” says John Driver, a teacher at the video production, program at College Now.

Since Driver was young, he wanted to be in the field of video production. He enjoyed watching movies and wanted to be an actor. Surprisingly enough his parents supported him in his goals. “My mother was a teacher and so was my father. They always supported me no matter what,” said Driver. His career in the video production industry dates back to when he was involved in soap operas such as, “Search for Tomorrow,” and the “Edge of Night.” “It was a great experience for me, being a part of those soap operas,” said Driver.

Saying Driver is just a teacher at Lehman College would be an understatement. Driver has guest starred in Law and Order a few times, has worked for News 12 the Bronx and is currently working with BronxNet.

At the end of the Lehman College Now program, he wishes to leave twenty students with a sense of how to tell a story through pictures. “I want them to have the professionalism needed to go forward in this business. I want them to understand the time pressures that they’re under, and a little picture of what it’s really like in the real world and doing this on a daily basis,” says Driver.
